Preface  to  the  First  Edition 

This  list  of  stories,  compiled  by  Miss  Edna  Whiteman, 
supervisor  of  story-telling  in  the  Carnegie  Library  of  Pitts- 
burgh, contains  those  selected  for  use  in  the  story  hours  con- 
ducted by  this  Library,  exclusive  of  the  series  of  cycle  stories. 
The  selection  is  based  on  practical  experience  and  is,  we  believe, 
sufficiently  comprehensive  to  meet  ordinary  library  needs. 

Among  the  problems  of  the  librarian  is  that  of  finding  some 
method  by  which  large  groups  of  children  may  be  directed  to 
the  best  books,  and  aroused  to  an  interest  in  good  reading.  The 
telling  of  carefully  chosen  stories  is  one  practical  solution,  and 
one  which  has  proved  very  useful  in  this  Library,  where  story 
hours  have  been  conducted  regularly  since  1899,  and  have  been 
attended  by  over  900,000  children.  This  pamphlet  is  published 
in  the  hope  that  the  results  of  our  work  may  prove  helpful  to 
others.

Preface  to  the  Second  Edition 

The  great  demand  for  this  pamphlet  has  necessitated  a  new 
edition.  Few  changes  have  been  made,  as  the  first  edition 
satisfactorily  .met  our  needs.  Several  story  titles  have  been 
added,  and  some  revision  has  been  made  of  the  lists  of  sources.

Story-Telling 

The  ancient  art  of  story-telling,  long  so  generally  neglected, 
has  attracted  renewed  interest  in  recent  years  as  a  subject  of 
serious  study,  and,  in  addition  to  its  use  for  amusement,  is 
finding  a  definite  place  in  present  methods  of  education,  par- 
ticularly as  a  means  of  presenting  literature.  The  folk-tales, 
the  earliest  forms  of  imaginative  literature,  were  created  by  the 
story-teller,  and  were  handed  down  through  generations  from 
teller  to  hearer  before  being  definitely  fixed  in  written  form; 
and  this  primitive  way  of  reproducing  imaginative  experiences 
which  interpret  life  in  simple,  childlike  terms,  so  popular  in 
a  less  sophisticated  civilization,  is  still  the  most  delightful  one 
to  children  and,  because  of  the  joy  it  gives,  is  the  most  effec- 
tive method  of  quickening  their  power  of  perception  and  of 
directing  their  interest. 

Through  the  story-teller's  understanding  of  the  meaning 
of  the  story  and  her  appreciation  of  its  artistic  form,  the  story 
is  given  color;  its  high  lights  are  given  relief,  and  the  noble, 
the  heroic,  the  pathetic,  the  humorous  and  the  joyous  quali- 
ties of  thought  and  action  are  brought  clearly  to  the  conscious- 
ness of  the  children.  The  voice,  expression  and  gesture  are 
used  to  portray  all  shades  of  thought  and  feeling,  giving  life 
to  the  story,  distinctness  to  the  scenes  and  vividness  to  the 
action.  Children  enter  into  the  experiences  of  the  characters 
with  a  degree  of  freedom,  spontaneity  and  appreciation  which 
is  not  possible  where  the  printed  page  intervenes.  Delightful, 
wholesome  fields  are  opened  to  the  imagination  in  this  way; 
pleasure  is  found  in  literature,  and  a  capacity  for  enjoyment 
of  the  best  that  books  can  offer  is  created  and  fostered. 

The  library  story  hour  is  frequently  the  first  step  in  the 
development  of  taste  for  good  reading  and  is  an  introduction 
to  the  possibilities  of  the  public  library.  It  attracts  children  to 
the  library,  stimulates  the  desire  to  read,  calls  attention  to  spe- 
cific books  and  produces  a  healthy  curiosity  concerning  others.

Selection 

Because  the  spoken  story  has  such  great  power  to  sway 
emotions  and  make  deep  and  lasting  impressions,  it  is  im- 
portant that  great  discrimination  be  exercised  in  the  selection 
of  stories  to  be  told. 

The  story  selected  should  not  only  embody  subject  matter 
of  interest  to  children,  but  should  deal  with  this  matter  in  such 
a  way  that  children  can  get  the  point  of  view  and.  follow  the 
thought;  they  understand  neither  an  introspective  nor  a  remi- 
niscent point  of  view,  nor  do  they  enjoy  a  merely  picturesque 
representation  of  childhood.  The  philosophy  involved  should 
present  an  attitude  toward  life  of  which  children  have  some 
conception,  not  one  which  puzzles  them  by  its  inclusion  of  the 
results  of  adult  experience.  The  moral  principles  involved 
should  be  true,  but  not  obviously  the  purpose  of  the  story.  The 
humorous  tale  may  be  crude,  but  it  should  be  wholesome,  not 
farcical  or  heavy.  The  story  must  have  unity  and  directness ; 
a  logical  development  of  events  leading  directly  to  the  great 
turning  point  or  climax,  after  which  there  should  be  no  in- 
cidents of  import,  but  simply  a  gathering  of  the  threads  into 
a  satisfying  close. 

Both  the  fairy  tale  and  the  realistic  story  are  valuable.  The 
fairy  tale  represents  human  life  as  truly  as  the  realistic  story, 
although  it  does  so  through  poetic  symbols.  Felix  Adler  says 
of  the  Marchen :  "They  have  an  authority  of  their  own,  not 
indeed  that  of  literal  truth,  but  one  derived  from  their  being 
types  of  certain  feelings  and  longings  which  belong  to  child- 
hood as  such."  1  Hamilton  Wright  Mabie  says  :  "These  tales 
are  the  first  outpourings  of  that  spring  of  imagination  whence 
flow  the  most  illuminating,  inspiring,  refreshing  and  captivat- 
ing thoughts  and  ideas  about  life.  No  philosophy  is  deeper 
than  that  which  underlies  these  stories;  no  psychology  more 
important  than  that  which  finds  its  choicest  illustration  in  them 
.  .  .  The  fairy  tale  belongs  to  the  child  and  ought  always  to  be 
within  his  reach,  not  only  because  it  is  his  special  literary  form 
and  his  nature  craves  it,  but  because  it  is  one"  of  the  most  vital

of  the  text  books  offered  to  him  in  the  school  of  life."  1  The 
realistic  story  is  valuable,  as  giving  the  lustre  of  art  to  every- 
day life  and  as  counterbalancing  the  marvelous  experiences  of 
fairyland  with  those  actually  possible. 

Among  the  stories  to  be  avoided  are  those  which  merely 
teach  ethics  or  manners  and  those  which  are  only  statements 
of  facts.  Other  common  types  which  are  undesirable  for  story- 
telling are  the  stories  for  special  purposes  or  occasions,  pre- 
sented in  inartistic  fashion,  and  those  whose  beauty  or  force 
depends  chiefly  on  the  diction  or  on  elaborate  detail. 

Method 

"In  order  to  achieve  results  in  literature  the  children  must 
have  something  more  than  a  good  story :  they  must  have  a 
good  story  teller."  2 

Story-telling  is  a  simple  art.  Like  every  other  art,  however, 
its  development  offers  unlimited  opportunity  for  study.  Be- 
cause it  is  an  interpretation  of  literature,  an  appreciation  of 
literature  in  general  and  of  the  particular  stories  to  be  told  is 
necessary.  In  each  story  the  situations  must  be  realized,  each 
scene  visualized,  the  underlying  thought  apprehended,  every 
emotion  and  thought  transition  conceived,  and  the  characters 
made  real  acquaintances. 

The  story-teller  of  to-day  has,  as  had  the  story-teller  of 
old,  the  privilege  of  making  such  changes  as  will  perfect  the 
organization  of  a  story  or  eliminate  unsuitable  elements. 

An  understanding  of  children,  a  keen  sense  of  the  artistic, 
a  natural,  sincere  and  intimate  manner,  and  a  well  placed  voice 
and  clear  enunciation  are  some  of  the  most  essential  qualifica- 
tions for  the  story-teller.  Story-telling  is  not  the  art  of  the 
stage ;  it  demands  dramatic  interpretation,  but  should  not  over- 
step its  bounds  and  become  acting.  The  story-teller  should  use 
simple,  pictorial  language  suited  to  the  particular  type  of  story 
being  told.  The  moral  significance  of  the  story  should  not 
be  analyzed  for  the  children  nor  over-emphasized;  but  allowed 
to  unfold  naturally  to  each  individual  child.

Story-Telling-  in  the  Carnegie  Library  of  Pittsburgh 

Two  story  hours  are  conducted  each  week  in  the  Central 
Library,  in  each  of  the  eight  branch  libraries,  and  in  two  of  the 
school  deposit  stations.  One  is  for  children  below  the  fifth 
school  grade,  although  older  children  are  not  excluded;  the 
other  is  for  children  above  the  fourth  school  grade.  One  story 
hour  is  held  each  week  in  a  children's  library  room  in  a  social 
settlement  house,  and  in  four  school  deposit  stations.  Wher- 
ever it  is  possible  the  children  under  eight  years  of  age  are 
grouped  by  themselves. 

Story-telling  is  a  part  of  the  programs  in  the  home  libraries 
and  reading  clubs  conducted  by  the  Library. 

Stories  are  told  in  the  summer  playgrounds  that  are  near 
libraries  and  in  certain  others  where  small  collections  of  books 
are  supplied  by  the  Library  for  circulation  during  the  summer. 

Special  story  hours  are  held  occasionally  in  the  club-rooms 
or  lecture-halls  of  the  libraries,  which  teachers  are  invited  to 
attend  with  their  classes.  School  time  is  often  given  for  this 
purpose.  Stories  are  told  on  invitation  in  the  class-rooms  of 
the  schools  and  at  meetings  of  mothers'  clubs,  and  on  special 
occasions  for  social  centres,  Y.  W.  C.  A.'s,  settlement  houses 
and  other  organizations. 

Story  hours  for  the  younger  children  commence  in  Septem- 
ber or  October  and  continue  through  April  or  May ;  the  length 
of  the  season  depends  on  the  particular  needs  of  the  various 
districts.  Story  hours  for  the  older  children  begin  the  first 
week  of  November  and  are  discontinued  about  the  first  of 
April. 

The  story  hours  are  announced  by  posters  hung  in  the 
children's  rooms  of  the  libraries.  Children  are  also  notified 
of  the  dates  of  commencement  through  visits  to  the  schools 
by  the  children's  librarians. 

The  children  gather  in  the  children's  rooms  and  are  taken 
to  the  story  hour  rooms  in  groups.  Thirty  children  form  a 
group  of  convenient  size,  but  on  account  of  the  large  attend- 
ance it  is  often  necessary  to  include  from  fifty  to  seventy  in  a 
group.  Story  hour  rooms,  club-rooms  and  lecture-halls  are 

10 


used  for  the  purpose.  Where  possible,  rooms  not  too  large  for 
the  groups  are  used,  and  the  chairs  or  benches  are  arranged 
in  semicircles. 

The  attendance  varies  greatly  in  different  districts.  In 
large  branches  stories  are  told  to  from  four  to  six  hundred  of 
the  younger  children  in  an  afternoon  after  school  and  it  is 
sometimes  necessary  to  have  four  or  five  people  telling  stories 
at  the  same  time  to  different  groups.  The  attendance  of  older 
children  at  a  single  story  hour  in  the  busy  season  varies  from 
forty-five  in  a  small  branch  to  two  hundred  in  a  large  one. 

Definite  programs  are  prepared  for  each  library  centre.  To 
the  younger  children  miscellaneous  stories  are  told,  selected 
chiefly  from  the  folk-tales  of  various  countries,  legends,  myths, 
fables,  modern  realistic  stories  and  Bible  stories.  Two  stories 
are  usually  told  to  each  group,  and  whenever  possible  variety 
is  given  by  the  selection  of  stories  of  different  types.  Poems 
and  nursery  rhymes  are  occasionally  included  in  these  pro- 
grams. Special  days  are  celebrated  if  stories  can  be  found 
which  express  the  spirit  of  the  holiday  and  are  sufficiently 
dramatic  in  form.  The  same  stories  are  sometimes  repeated 
during  the  year  because  of  the  deeper  impression  made  through 
repetition,  and  the  value  to  children  of  an  intimate  acquaintance 
with  a  few  of  the  best  things  in  the  literature  appropriate  for 
them.  If  something  new  is  given  each  time,  the  impressions 
are  confused  and  dissipated,  and  material  which  is  either  be- 
yond a  child's  appreciation  or  unsuitable  for  story-telling  must 
finally  be  used.  When  an  additional  story  is  told  and  the  chil- 
dren are  allowed  a  choice,  the  story  requested  is  almost  without 
exception  a  very  old  and  well-known  one.  To  the  older  chil- 
dren some  of  the  great  cycle  stories  are  presented  by  telling 
one  story  each  week.  High  adventure  and  romance,  as  depicted 
in  these  hero  tales,  have  a  special  appeal  to  the  boy  and  girl 
from  ten  to  fifteen,  and  at  this  age  interest  is  easily  sustained. 
The  following  cycles  are  used: 

Stories  from  the  Norse;  historical  tales,  myths  and  sagas. 

Stones  from  the  ballads  of  Robin  Hood. 

Stories  from  the  Iliad  and  the  Odyssey  of  Homer. 

ii 


Stories  of  Persian  heroes;  from  the  Shah  Nameh  of  Firdausi. 

Story  of  Beowulf;  from  the  Anglo-Saxon  epic. 

Stones  of  Cuchulain;  from  the  heroic  legends  of  Ireland.   :  -•;•- 

Stories  of  King  Arthur  and  his  knights;  from  Malory's  Morte  Dar- 
thur  and  other  mediaeval  legends. 

Stories  of  Charlemagne  and  his  paladins;  from  mediaeval  legends 
and  the  Chanson  de  Roland. 

Outlines  are  made  for  these  cycles  in  which  incidents  and 
details  unsuitable  for  children  and  for  story-telling  are  elimi- 
nated, and  best  versions  for  the  story-teller  and  for  the  children 
are  indicated.  Outlines  of  the  first  two  of  the  cycles  listed 
above  have  been  published  as  separate  pamphlets. 

The  source  books  and  others  of  like  interest  are  placed 
on  a  shelf  or  table  near  the  posters  which  announce  the  story 
hours.  One  or  two  of  these  books  are  frequently  taken  into 
the  story  hours  and  the  attention  of  the  children  called  to  them 
by  referring  to  particular  incidents  or  illustrations.  After 
hearing  a  story  told  many  children  ask  for  the  book  from  which 
it  was  selected  and  are  interested  in  reading  others  for  which 
the  story-telling  has  created  the  background. 

The  stories  are  told  by  the  children's  librarians  and  by  £tu- 
dents  of  the  Carnegie  Library  School.  The  work  is  directed 
by  the  supervisor  of  story-telling.

Stories  to  Tell  to  Children 
A  Selected  List 

Classification  of  Stories 

In  the  following  lists  the  stories  are  grouped  according  to  their 
interest  to  children  of  different  ages.  No  very  definite  lines  can  be 
drawn,  however,  and  each  group  contains  stories  which  are  also  much 
enjoyed  by  children  of  other  ages  than  those  indicated. 

In  order  that  a  story  suited  to  a  given  purpose  may  be  quickly 
found,  the  stories  are  characterized  as  follows:  Cumulative  folk-tale, 
Repetitive  folk-tale,  Folk  fairy  tale,  Humorous  folk-tale,  Fable,  Saint 
legend,  Mediaeval  legend,  Irish  legend,  Japanese  legend,  Dutch  legend, 
Latin  legend,  German  legend,  American  Indian  legend,  Greek  myth, 
Norse  myth,  Biblical  story,  Anglo-Saxon  epic,  Greek  epic,  Persian  epic, 
Ballad  story,  Modern  fairy  tale,  Modern  realistic  story,  Modern^  Ameri- 
can Indian  story,  Biographical  story.  The  stories  are  arranged  under 
these  heads  in  the  classified  index  which  follows  the  lists. 

Parallels 

The  preferred  form  of  a  story  is  listed  first.  Parallel  or  similar 
stories  are  given  only  when  these  are  also  quite  acceptable  for  story* 
telling. 

Sources 

Not  all  known  sources  for  the  stories  are  listed.  Where  possible 
one  or  more  books  containing  an  original  version  of  the  story  and  one 
containing  a  good  adaptation  of  it  are  listed  first.  Where  one  version 
of  a  story  is  decidedly  preferable  for  story-telling  the  source  is  indi- 
cated thus  f.  Sources  valuable  to  the  story-teller  but  not  suitable  for 
children  are  marked  *.  In  the  arrangement  of  additional  sources  pref- 
erence is  usually  given  to  the  books  most  suitable  as  a  whole  for  chil- 
dren of  the  ages  to  which  the  particular  story  appeals.  Where  stories 
are  available  in  but  few  books,  rather  unsatisfactory  sources  are  some- 
times included.  For  the  same  reason,  primers  and  readers  are  some- 
times given  as  sources,  although  text-books  are  omitted  for  the  most 
part.
